Grades of Hepatic Encephalopathy | West Haven Criteria & Liver Disease Effect on Brain |Novice Medic

In this video, we explore the Grades of Hepatic Encephalopathy and the West Haven Criteria used to assess the severity of brain dysfunction in patients with liver disease. Hepatic encephalopathy is a serious condition where liver failure leads to the accumulation of toxic substances in the brain. We discuss the clinical manifestations, the four grades of hepatic encephalopathy (Grade 1 to Grade 4), and how liver disease impacts brain function. The West Haven Criteria provides an objective method to classify the severity of encephalopathy. If you're studying liver disease, neurology, or hepatology, this video is a must-watch!

🧠 Understanding Hepatic Encephalopathy & the West Haven Criteria 🧠
Fellow Medics, today we’re diving into the Grades of Hepatic Encephalopathy, a condition where liver failure affects brain function. We’ll also break down the West Haven Criteria, a system that helps us assess the severity of encephalopathy in cirrhotic patients. Watch this video to understand how liver disease affects the brain and how we grade hepatic encephalopathy from Grade 1 to Grade 4. Essential knowledge for those studying hepatology and neurology! #HepaticEncephalopathy #WestHavenCriteria #LiverDisease #NoviceMedic
